PSY 200 Online, Dr. Cheryl Merchant

Discussion 1, Chapter 1

Using the principles of operant conditioning discussed in Chapter 1 of the current course

textbook as your primary source, make recommendations to a parent dealing with their 2-yearolds temper tantrums to get a cookie in the grocery store. In addition to your recommendations,

include numbers 1 through 3 below in your discussion:

1) Identify parent responses that would reinforce the tantrums and make them increase

(e.g., giving attention to the child or giving him or her the cookie;

2) Identify behaviors that would extinguish the behavior (e.g., ignoring them);

3) Include the possible consequences of spanking in this situation (see the attached

review by E. Gershoff in 2002, titled Corporal Punishment by Parents and Associated

Child Behaviors and Experiences: A Meta-Analytic and Theoretical Review, from the

peer-reviewed journal Psychological Bulletin, to help support your discussion on

spanking.

Use the APA 6th Edition writing format and be sure to use in-text citations and a

matching full reference for each in-text citation to support (back up) your discussion. You are

free to use other sources in addition to the current course textbook. Refer to the APA video and

other information posted in the discussion board.
